Sekilas

Samoa Amerika dinilai sebagai tim nasional sepak bola terlemah, sebab hingga November 2011 Samoa Amerika berada di peringkat FIFA terbawah dari semua negara yang terdaftar di keanggotaan FIFA. The team holds the world record for the largest defeat in an international match, set after their 31–0 loss to Australia.

Samoa America mendapatkan kemenangan pertama mereka saat berhadapan dengan Wallis dan Futuna dengan skor 3–0 untuk Samoa Amerika. Kemenangan ini diperoleh pada saat turnamen Pekan Olaharga Pasifik Selatan 1983 di babak penyisihan grup, kemenangan ini tidak dicatat sebagai kemenangan pertama kali oleh FIFA.

Pada tanggal 23 November 2011, Samoa Amerika mengalahkan Tonga dengan skor 2–1 di babak pertama Kualifikasi Piala Dunia FIFA 2014 zona Oseania, dengan sebuah gol jarak jauh yang dibuat oleh Ramin Ott, dan penyelamatan di gawang oleh penjaga gawang Shalom Luani, membantu mereka memperoleh kemenangan pertama internasional yang dicatat oleh FIFA.

Samoa Amerika menperoleh hasil imbang 1–1 saat berhadapan dengan Kepualuan Cook, namun gagal untuk melanjutkan kualifikasi grup, setelah dikalahkan Samoa 1–0, dimana satu-satunya gol dicetak pada menit ke-89.

Pada Desember 2011 Samoa Amerika memdapatkan peringkat terbaik mereka di Peringkat Dunia FIFA.

Usaha Samoa Amerika untuk lulus kualifikasi Piala Dunia FIFA 2014 telah didokumentasikan oleh dokumentasi di majalah Britania, Next Goal Wins, yang dibuat oleh Mike Brett dan Steve Jamison.

1983

The football tournament at the 1983 South Pacific Games in Western Samoa was the first time American Samoa had entered, having missed the six tournaments from 1963 to 1979. American Samoa were drawn in Group A along with Samoa, Tonga, and the Wallis and Futuna Islands. Two points would be awarded for a win, one for a draw, with the top two in each group advancing to the quarter-finals. Their first two games ended in defeat, losing 3–1 to Samoa and 3–2 to Tonga. In their final game against the Wallis and Futuna Islands, however, they achieved their first victory, winning by three goals to nil. The two points gained from this win, though, were not enough to finish in the top two, so American Samoa went out at the group stage.

1987

The 1987 football tournament saw American Samoa compete for the 2nd time in their history. In a format change from the previous tournament in 1983, the entered teams were placed in one large group, with the group winner taking the gold medal. In their opening match, American Samoa were on the receiving end of a 10–0 thrashing from the hosts, New Caledonia. Their next two matches also ended in defeat, albeit less severe: 7–0 against Vanuatu and 5–1 against the Wallis and Futuna Islands. Papua New Guinea, however, were less merciful, and scored twenty without reply in what turned out to be the American Samoans' last game of the tournament, their final match against Tahiti being cancelled. American Samoa would not enter again until 2007, missing the 1991, 1995, and 2003 tournaments.

2007

American Samoa made their 3rd appearance at the South Pacific Games football tournament in 2007. The competition also doubled as the first stage of the OFC qualification tournament for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, with the three medal winners progressing to the final qualifying group. American Samoa were drawn in Group B along with the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Samoa, and Vanuatu. In their opening match, they were defeated 12–1 by the Solomon Islands, with Ramin Ott scoring only their second goal in their FIFA World Cup qualification history. Following two more heavy defeats (7–0 against Samoa and 15–0 against Vanuatu), American Samoa went into their final game versus Tonga unable to qualify from their group. Their 4–0 defeat in this game, however, was their best result since 2006.

2011

At the football tournament of the 2011 South Pacific Games, held in Nouméa, New Caledonia, American Samoa were drawn in Group A alongside the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Guam, Tuvalu, and the hosts New Caledonia. In their opening two games, they were defeated 4-0 first by Tuvalu and then by the Solomon Islands. Their best result came in game three, a 2-0 loss to Guam, before back-to-back 8-0 defeats to New Caledonia and Vanuatu ensured that once again American Samoa exited at the group stage. Their group stage stats: Played 5, Lost 5, Scored 0, Conceded 26.
